It implies that our poor people are less violent than the poor in other cities. And I think this is somewhat true.

We are less poor here because our overhead is low. Once the low overhead is destroyed people are going to be a lot more violent.

As the cost of electricity, water and trash service increase along with increasing sales taxes we see growing violence. This is because stupid government spending takes money from poor people, making them more poor or even destitute.

The more destitute poor people become the more likely they are to commit violence. And so we see that KC violence increases are correlated to increasing taxes, fees, etc.
